Well of course he is gonna say that, its not like he is gonna say " oh well this is the second best team i have ever been on, you know the Miami team I was on with Wade, yea that one that was the best EVER" No he isn't gonna say that you have to always say crap like that, name public figure athlete wise that has ever publicly ever been like "no this isn't the best team I have ever been on" while they are an active player on that team.

[Guest SurpriseSex]

For the sake of discussion, I'd say the Laker teams would be the best teams he's been on.

Of course, only because he was in his prime. Aside from Kobe, and the failed experiment of Payton & Malone, he had good role players in Shaw, Fisher and Rick Fox. But remember, this was when Shaq owned the paint like there was no tomorrow.

Anyone else disliking the replacement referees?

Toronto's D-League team is holding tryouts at my university's gym hahah, $175 USD to register...

[Guest YSK]

Maybe this year those refs will call all the travels that dont get called by the regular refs....be wary Lebron...

[Guest YSK]

at least now, the rules changed and they can officially take 2 steps.

Err...you are allowed 2 steps after stopping dribble right? Hasn't that always been the rule? I meant more in the sense a lot of players travel by taking that extra step, sometimes it doesn't matter such as when a player gets a steal and is all clear for the easy 2, but for instance when on the drive (using lebron as an example, not hating ) after the dribble they'll take that third illegal step and wont get called for it a lot....

[Guest kuku]

ESPN

Now it's just official.

yea it's cuz guys who drive to the net always take that extra step in the NBA.

HOWEVER, in international games, USA would be heavily penalized for traveling.

[Guest xsilentangel]

Lakers 2009 Rings:

Laker gold -- Most rings are 14-karat gold but the Lakers' high-profile jeweler, Jason of Beverly Hills, created a special batch of 15-karat Laker gold to commemorate their 15th NBA championship. The ring is made of both white and yellow gold and was built from seven different parts that had to be assembled. Most rings are built as one unit.

Bling that'll blind -- The ring is comprised of 15 diamonds weighing in at 2.85 carats.

Home court advantage -- The Lakers' rings mirror the shape of the exterior of their home arena, the Staples Center. When viewed from the side, you can see the "roof" and "sides" of the Lakers' home court.

Personalization -- In the past every player has had their name and number on the side of their ring. The Lakers went a step above that and laser engraved the image of each player's face on his ring.

Lock-down defense -- Each ring boasts a hand-selected, diamond-engraved "L". The "L" is placed in a different position on each player's ring and is only viewable with a high-powered microscope. This helps authenticate each players piece. For further security and authentification, every ring has a serial number which is stored in a database that only the Lakers themselves and the jeweler can access.

Hollywood packaging, too -- Each ring will be presented in an oversized box roughly the size of a watch box. When opened, each box has two built-in LED spotlights that shine on the ring. Even the ring itself gets royal treatment: it is mounted on a rotating mechanical platform.

Wow Celtics weren't at their best and won. So proud.

Sheed impressed me ..

[Guest DOVAHKIIN]

Celtics were at their usual.

Ray Allen jacking up random shots that either hit or miss. Sheed stretches the D very well for the Celtics.

The Cavs were screwed as soon as Varejao started trying to do stuff on his own offensively.

Loving the Clippers vs Lakers right now, it's actually CLOSE.

[Guest 432521]

So everyone on the lakers roster gets a ring? Even the bench warmers who only played like 5 minutes the whole year?

[Guest res0nate]

Yup.

and LOL CAVS.

[Guest xsilentangel]

Yup.

and LOL CAVS.

LOL I was watching the Celtics game and baseball so I didn't get to see the game but during the Celtics game the crowd went crazy when the scores were up ... lmfao.

Wow the starters and bench were all effective. Great night for Bargnani.. I'm sad I didn't see the game.

The difference between the scores of the teams that played in the last two days are pretty outrageous..

[Guest PB&Banana]

The clippers has some solid guys in the team from what i've seen in the game.

Ron's still hasn't gelled with the lakers but it's to be expected a work in progress as with many teams.

Bynum! i hope this is his year to shine every time I watch him play I always tell my self hope he doesn't get injured.

Sheed's hair wow I thought he didn't even have any hair. Very very good addition by the Celtics.

It's good to see Gilbert Arenas play again, can't believe Mavs lost 1st home opener.

New season folks!

[Guest DOVAHKIIN]

Cavs were grinded out by the Celtics, so a back-to-back loss isn't that surprising. Varejao has been trying to do too much on his own in the past two games, he's not even a scorer. Delonte West needs to be back soon, 'cause the bench looks shakey on court when LeBron takes a break.

But I'll take the win either way for the Raptors, it was some impressive defense.

[Guest chickpeas]

Delonte West needs to be back soon.

Agreed. To sidetrack for a sec, what's the latest on his situation?

Celtics are looking great for the season. Is it just me or sheed slimmed down?

[Guest DOVAHKIIN]

^^ Uhh, his wife just reported him for domestic violence.

Man oh man. First him, now Glen Davis for the Celtics.

Seems like all the contenders have troubled players.

Cavs: Delonte West with gun possession charges and domestic violence from bi-polar disorder

Celtics: Glen Davis breaking his thumb for punching out a college teammate; out for 2 months with the injury + eventual suspension

Magic: Rashard Lewis' 10 game suspension for failing drug test

Nuggets: JR Smith's 7 game suspension for reckless driving

Lakers: ... Ron Artest in general haha
